Android Simulator Not Responding

I'm using eclipse and have the android plugin. I made a simulator that is running 1.6. I'm trying to run the demo app that it comes with and it freezes on me and I have to end the process. I never get it to run the demo. Anyone have some advice?

Demo App Code:

package com.demo.DemoApp;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}

My Output:

[2011-06-29 15:31:32 - DemoApp] ------------------------------
[2011-06-29 15:31:32 - DemoApp] Android Launch!
[2011-06-29 15:31:32 - DemoApp] adb is running normally.
[2011-06-29 15:31:32 - DemoApp] Performing com.demo.DemoApp.MainActivity activity launch

[2011-06-29 15:32:29 - DemoApp] emulator-5554 disconnected! Cancelling 'com.demo.DemoApp.MainActivity activity launch'!

The android default emulators are very slow. You can use any real device or Gennymotion in your system. Gennymotion simulators have better performance than the default ones.

This is not a solution for your particular problem, but i gave up on the simulator, is just to cumbersome and slow. Get a real device, your life will improve greatly. They are fairly cheap right now. Trust me, the simulator is just not worth your patience.

Wipe user data on the simulator to start it from scratch. That usually resolves this problem for me.
